Get the best degree in Aircraft Engineering awarded by Kingston University, UK at Nilai University, Malaysia

BSc (Hons) in Aircraft Engineering awarded by Kingston University, UK  at Nilai University

Dr Peter Barrington, Head of Kingston University's School of Aerospace and Aircraft Engineering, shares the benefits of completing the one year Advanced Diploma (top-up degree programme) after the Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering.
Dr Peter Barrington, Head of Kingston University's School of Aerospace and Aircraft Engineering
Why choose Nilai University as your partner in offering this degree?
We are only interested in working with quality partners, Kingston University must be assured of the standards applied. We have already visited Nilai University three times and are very happy with what we have seen. There is a good match in terms of aircraft engineering subject areas.
The key factor is that Nilai University conducts its EASA exams through CAAi which makes us very confident in the standard of knowledge. In addition, the quality systems that Nilai University do have in place and its experience of working with a number of foreign universities made it particularly reassuring to us.
Please explain how this degree works?
Kingston University offers a three-year BSc (Hons) in Aircraft Engineering. Students do a two-year foundation degree at one of our five partner institutions in the UK and they do the final year at Kingston University.
Our Foundation degree is based on the EASA B licence syllabus which is very similar to Nilai U’s diploma programme. There are some differences between the programmes and we are introducing a bridging module to cover these aspects.
So Nilai University’s Diploma programme plus the bridging module is equivalent to Kingston University’s Foundation programme. Students then only need to do a one-year top up to get the degree. According to the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) specifications, one year of post diploma study is equivalent to an Advanced Diploma.
But in the UK context, the Advanced Diploma is equivalent Honours degree. This means graduates will receive a both an advanced diploma from Nilai U and a BSc (Hons) in Aircraft Engineering from Kingston University. And if students
successfully complete the programme with a second class honours, they can progress on to post-graduate studies in the UK.
Can a student proceed to do this Degree in Aircraft Engineering if s/he has completed a Diploma in a different engineering field?
No. this is because the articulation agreement between Nilai U and Kingston University requires a match of curriculum.
Nilai is the only university in Malaysia with its own hangar and planes
Nilai is the only university in Malaysia with its own hangar and planes
Both Nilai University’s diploma and Kingston’s Foundation
programme in this field are based on part 66 of EASA syllabus.
Can Nilai U students opt to finish their degree in the UK after completing Nilai U’s Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering?
The top up degree is available to those who have completed Nilai University’s Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering and the bridging modules. To go to the UK, a student will need to complete the bridging modules and also pass an English proficiency test as well. It’s a lot less expensive to complete the degree programme at Nilai U.
If someone wanted the experience of doing one year in the UK, the more sensible option would be to complete the honours degree at Nilai University then proceed to do the MSc in Aircraft Engineering at Kingston University.
In your opinion, how will students benefit by continuing their studies to degree level?
Nilai University Aircraft Maintenance Engineering
Nilai University Aircraft Maintenance Engineering
The basic EASA diploma is about getting the licence which is a key qualification which allows the person to sign off on aircraft worthiness. This top up degree is more to move people on to supervisory roles within the industry. It is about
managing a team and having the ability to deal with uncertain issues. Initially, employers will be keen to know if a person has gotten their EASA licence. But they will also need people to lead the team and the degree holder will come across as more confident and knowledgeable. Doing a degree is with long term career options and rewards in mind.
A UK degree is internationally-recognised and this allows the person to move around easier. It must be said, there’s not a lot of point in getting the degree if there is no intention of getting the EASA licence.
How a person sequence that is up to them. For many people, it’s easier to get the education done and then move towards getting the experience necessary for the licence. It is quite hard to come back and do a degree after having worked for a few years.
What would you say to prospective
Excellent facilities at Nilai University
Excellent facilities at Nilai University
students and their parents about joining this field?
The aircraft maintenance industry is highly regulated. The number of people required can be predicted quite easily and there is solid evidence to show that the demand is going to keep growing.
This is also a highly rewarding field to be in. a person is essentially going to be responsible for aircraft worth hundreds of millions of dollars and whether or not it leaves the ground.
Most importantly, it is about the safety of the persons who will be on the flight. It can be a very lucrative career. Having a degree will certainly help a person better perform the job and ensure upwards mobility.

Pharmacy is about using medications safely and effectively. A Pharmacist is a professional who manages this process.
While Doctors diagnose the disease or illness, it is the Pharmacist who are experts in drugs and medications. Their service is very important to both patients and the health care community. In addition to dispensing prescriptions, they must understand the chemistry, drug reactions, patient’s history, the effects and side effects of drugs.
A pharmacist plays an important part of any health care system. Pharmacists are experts in drugs and medications and their service is of paramount importance to both patients and the health care community. In addition to dispensing prescriptions, they must understand the chemistry, drug reactions, patient’s history, the effects and side effects of drugs.
Unlike earlier times, pharmacy is a field that requires its practitioners to be flexible in their job and adaptable to the changing nature of the healthcare industry.
Firstly, the worldwide trend is moving towards specialisation in the distribution of medication and pharmaceutical care is influencing pharmacy practice in this region of the world.
Secondly, the changing environment in retail pharmacy sector from individually owned pharmacy shops to nationwide chain stores is demanding an adaptability of pharmacy graduates. Thirdly, the growth of the pharmaceutical industry in Malaysia is in dire need of experts in industrial pharmacy.
In Malaysia, job opportunities abound for pharmacists. Besides employment in traditional venues such as hospitals and private clinics, pharmacy graduates are engaged in other areas such as research and development, drug enforcement and academia. In all these areas, pharmacists play an important role in the health of the country.

in the country and 1,834 community pharmacies throughout the country.. The Pharmacist to people ratio is set to turn from 1:2,947 this year to 1:2,000 by 2016.  
More community pharmacies will be set up in rural areas. The Health Ministry is looking into a zoning system to distribute pharmacies accordingly in urban and rural areas so that the public would not be deprived of such medical service.
Presently, the concentration of community pharmacies is in Selangor where there are 433 pharmacies. Penang has 213, Kuala Lumpur has 201 and Johor has 157 community pharmacies.
The Health Ministry and the Malaysian Pharmacy Association has also developed the Malaysian Healthcare Providers Mapping Service. Part of the plan is to improve the number of pharmacists to the population in Malaysia from 1:2,974 to 1:2,000 by 2016.
The starting salary for a Pharmacy graduate is pretty good as well.
